📍 Habitat:
Widespread in Ireland, often found in disturbed soils, field margins, roadsides, pastures, and waste ground.

📏 Description:
This is a rosette stage (juvenile form) of the plant.

Deeply lobed, spiny leaves with bristly hairs, especially along the central vein and margins.

The plant will eventually grow a tall flowering stem (up to 1.5 m), producing purple flower heads.

🌼 Flowering Time:
Flowers from July to September in Ireland.

🤓 Curious Facts:
A biennial: forms a rosette in the first year and flowers in the second.

Though often called a "weed", it’s native and protected under some agri-environmental schemes due to its ecological value.

🧠 Fun & Curious Facts:

My camera battery just popped out today right during my morning stream. It was bought for €685.00 on December 16, 2023. Today is May 12, 2025. 513 days of almost daily use. And I might not even be too upset about this loss if I could get rid of the dead battery and power the camera directly from a power bank, for example. But no, the unexpected news took me by surprise - without a battery, the camera simply cannot turn on, no matter what power I offer it. Such batteries are sold ONLY in China, the delivery is about a month. A new camera costs 800-900 euros, on the official website out of stock. Disaster. #dji #pocket3 ‪@DJI‬
